Don't know if it will work on painted clay, but it is truly matte. It is not shiny like gloss or satin.

I always buy gloss. I am not aware if it comes in satin or matte finishes. There are so many different types of plastics that I cannot say that it works on "all" plastics. I have sprayed it over THIN washes of acrylic artists' paint on canvas and other materials. I have had problems with spraying this over over acrylic clear sprays, like Krylon Crystal Clear. Sometimes the paint surface buckles. I have sprayed it over DRY gold and metal leaf with good results. It also seems to work over DRY gold size, a type of varnish. I have also tried it on fiberglass furniture with high gloss finishes. Sometimes it will not take on this type of surface. I have also sprayed it on small pieces of metal jewelry (but usually prefer not to do this). Hope this helps. You should probably experiment in scraps of different types of plastic.

This is a surface prep medium. Not to be used as a top coat. Also, this doesn't dry completely clear like you would think. I suggest a spray varnish or something like modge podge.

This is a varnish and not to be confused with gesso. It will gloss but will not make a flat surface.

I am not sure what other people use, but I bake it, sand it, and spray it with Krylon clear acrylic spray. I believe that you can paint it with latex paints. I think you could find some good information on Utube and search Scupty. Another good idea is to do a Google search under the type of craft you are doing, or under the type of material you are using. Good luck. Things will probably be fine no matter what you use. I avoid any oil based paints because of unknown or bad chemical reactions with the clay.

The surface you are using this on needs to be non-porous, or treated with a coat to make it non porous, or you run the risk of it fusing with the item. You could paint acryllic on it and peel, anything oil based will break down the mold in a few uses.

I've only ever mixed it with resin which turn out quite well, i do have a paint product as well which i discovered is simply the powder in a translucent once dry paint but the powder was gritty not dissolved in the paint which is how I found out, so I'm not sure if it would actually disolve, though you have my interest, I make fairies that glow and a snow globe type of trinket would be very interesting, I believe I will do some mixing this afternoon and relate my findings

This is not paint. It is pigment that you mix with a clear paint like "clear polycrylic". I tested the pigment mixed with minwax water based polycrylic protective finish 'clear satin' on wood, acrylic plastic, glossy photo paper, metal and a smooth pebble but I did not test on glass. If the clear paint you mix the pigment with works on glass then yes it will work on glass. The minwax that I used was meant to protect wood finishes but worked great on acrylic plastic and the other materials I tested on.

I used it on my grout and there is NO gloss or satin finish. It didn't change the color of the grout in any way and you can't tell it's there until you test it with water after it's dry. In fact, I was just at my new house (four days later) and I had to test it again with water because it didn't look as if anything was there. I loved this stuff. We applied two coats but the first coat did make the grout waterproof. I put the two coats on because I want it to last and last. I sealed every piece of grout in the house. :)

yes, I paint in acrylics and it works very well. I also found putting glass in the bottom helps.

You should do a test section on the plastic to see if it will bond to it. This glaze is intended for Sculpey or Fimo clay, but I have bonded these clays to surfaces such as canvass, wood, snow boards, skateboards and surfboards and it has always worked. But some plastics are really glossy and the glaze may not adhere to it...it will either peel off or come off easily if you scratch it with your nail. Another option if you are bonding the clay to plastic: use the Sculpey glaze on the clay parts only, then switch to using RUST-OLEUM Ultra Cover -GLOSS CLEAR (Home Depot) it bonds to most surfaces and looks the same as the Sculpey glaze, you will not see a difference. This combination has always worked for me. Good luck!

This is intended to make the paint more flexible after drying, making it great for fabric. However I wouldnt recommend it particularly for figurines, an acrylic model paint would serve you better.

The textured finish looks more like a satin rather than a gloss; think fresh Rhino-Liner. Not too shiny, not too glossy. It would work well with a matte paint job.

I use these two products on a paint enameled dining room table. Also, I use on acrylic contemporary end tables - works beautifully. I would try it on your panels, it should work. The polish will protect from water as water will bead up. The product is marketed for boat polishing.

NO this product is used to help the Acrylic paint adhere to Teltile Fabrics. I suggest using a clear varnish type finish either paint on or spray on. Krylon Clear would be a good choice for the spray on. I am not sure of what is available in the brush on type.

I'm not sure. The paint I used was washable paint. I would assume acrylic paint would work fine. Just wash it by hand if you have to wash it.

I'm using mine to clean and aluminum patio but I wouldn't use it on and acrylic finish, I think the brush bristles are a little to stiff for that purpose. On tile or Marble it would to O.K. but not on what you want to use it for. I would just use a cloth and a bottle of soft scrub, it's like A-Jax only much more mild and won't scratch the finish on the acrylic tub.
